Ethnography Report of 7/22/14, Room 4057, Operation: Investigate 4057 with caution
by: Matthew and Nicholas
If you are reading this or hearing this, and not someone who knows me I will have to bring amnesia to your mind.
I am a magician. I am everybody who is not you. In every brain I have put a component of my magic that allows me to see what the person I'm looking through sees.
I have created spies (who are actually magic particles) to help me look for trouble
This room of 4057 in this college called Cal State University has been getting a lot of reports. None of the spy's I have sent have returned in one piece, some have not returned to this day, even though they are impossible to see. I have a sense of some evil sorcery lurking here. Many people have tried before me and my spies, but now, I shall take this into my own hands and stop this nonsense.
9:06 Three women enter elevator at the bottom floor, they talk about their weekend. One women celebrated a man's life. Very interesting
9:14 Ted (he looks like the leader) yells "Mitchell is here!" A boy walks in. He looks extremely sleepy. Did someone put a potion of drowsiness on him? If so he must be associated with the world of magicians to receive that potion
9:17 A students named Robles and Mitchell (the guy from before who looked sleepy) start whispering. Should I keep in eye on those two suspicious students?
9:19 Another student enters. His name is Anthony. I must keep a eye on him too.
9:20 The class start morning pages. Morning pages looks like a time for people to plot things or just for self-enjoyment stories. Then, Robles and a different boy named Alex start to talk. This is getting very suspicious.
9:21 Now, Robles, Mitchell and Alex start staring around like they heard me. I think they may be evil magicians in hiding.
9:23 Jason drops his pencil case. Could this be a signal of some sort?
9:26 The leader, Ted and another leader named Claudia start to talk very quietly. Also suspicious. I am getting nervous with these weird signs.
9:27 Ted says "11 minutes" What does that mean?
9'29 A boy named Akita sneezes. How dare no one says bless you. Very rude.
9:30 Mitchell and Alex start mumbling something. I am getting very suspicious of those boys sitting in the corner.
9:32 A water bottle drops suddenly
9:37 Robles starts being a distraction
9:39 Anthony hands a pen (maybe a wand) to Ted
9:44 A soothing sound rings from a device being held by Ted. Could this be a spell?
9:45 Mitch starts talking about his trip to Hawaii and that he saw lots of chickens and a seal
9:45 Akita hands Matthew his cupcakes so Robles won't take any. Is Robles a thief?
9:46 Three readers, Mitchell, Alex and Akita start reading their ethnography report
9:51 They finish their description of yesterday. It sounds like a disaster occurred to three other spies. Poor them, I'll try to save them after this.
9:52 Akita receives back his cupcakes from Matthew
9:54-9:56 Ted reads about a girl in a book called A Wrinkle In Time by: Madeline L'Engel (I think Meg is kind of crazy)
10:01 Anthony, Robles and Ted talk about "it" in the book, who is apparently a brain sort of guy, like me
10:04 Nicholas says "Where is my paper?!"
10:04-10:35 Ted talks about how to make a good character and how it needs a character that you could relate to
You need dialogue to know the personality of the character
You need actions that reflect on the character
Flashbacks to learn about the characters past
Other characters may effect the main characters traits and actions
Characters need quirks or unique habits
Maybe a pet or comfort object that they talk to (like my wand and pet frog in the jar)
10:07 Tyler drops his pencil
10:25 Nicholas makes a weird noise
10:25 Ted continues. This time about narrative stories
If you look back for about a hour, there has been some very suspicious actions.
A good lead
characters are different and are like what he said earlier
Setting, time, place and relationships
The characters change in the story
Problems
Resolution or not (maybe)
10:35 Jade sneezes
10:30- 10:36 Mitchell falls asleep. Maybe he did drink a potion of drowsiness
10:37 Ted wakes him up and moves him from behind Robles to in front of him.
10:38 Ted says "Get your ideas down and don't stare at a blank page"
10:40 Ted shares the beginning of a short story by a boy named Tyler
11:00 Break starts
11:01 Matthew buys M@M's, Nicholas buys Chex MIx and Robles buys a soda
11:01 Robles talks about his lost cookies. Could this be his reason why he is evil, he wants his cookies back?
11:03 Matthew, Alex, Tyler and some other boys find a dead rodent on the field. All the little children want to touch it. Maybe I'll take the rodent and make a potion out of it
11:06 Jade gets scared when Matthew faked a football throw at her. How cruel!
11:07 Some girls hide form Isabella
11:08-11:20 Some boys play football and Tyler acts like Clayton Kershaw. I was watching, Tyler had the ball and tried to juke Robles by sliding down. Instead he fell down and hurt himself
11:20 Break Ends
11:21-11:25 We have some elevator issues. The boys pick up two women and a girl. These people come with us into the classroom and hear the story
11:28 Ted continues reading this story about Mike
11.29 The Women and child leave
11:40 Ted finishes the story
11:41-11:44 Claudia teaches about setting, problem and characters
She then tells us that we will be writing a story. I decide to write too.
Make a plan
Use cause and effect
A weird sound rings
Fail to learn
12:15-12:20 Anthony, Justin, Naolin, Andrew, Eunice share their lead
12:21 Readers leave
12:59 I leave
After reviewing my notes carefully I decided to interrogate Robles, Mitchell and Alex. As they walked through the dim hallways of this horrid place I find Mitchell, Alex and Robles. I step in front of them. Then I ask them:
M: Are you a evil magician?
Robles:No
Mitchell: No
Alex: No
Then I cast my spell of truthfulness on them. Same answer. So now I had to erase their memory of this confrontation. As they past me, I shoot them with my magic wand. They all stare blankly for a second, then they continue walking again.
I decide to let them go but I keep a spy there just in case. Any how, it was really fun today. I hope to return soon to this domain.
These are some hints of who I was spying through
This person plays all sports
This person is a boy
This person always wears a jacket and usually never takes it off
He also presses the buttons in the elevator after everyone leaves sometimes
